Kaplan, Smith say XX Sports breached radio deal!

Why doesn’t this surprise me? By Jay Posner, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER Monday, March 15, 2010 at 11:35 a.m. After missing their first show Monday due to a contract dispute with XX Sports Radio, Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith charged the station with “failing to pay us according to our contracts.” In a statement posted [ READ MORE ]

Rex called after surgery to make sure Jets landed LaDainian

I like Rex personally… aside from the fact he handed it to my hometown team.  I like his style and I think LT did too.  This past season I always asked the question, “Would LT be better with an All-Pro line?”.  It will be interesting to see what LT can do because I think he [ READ MORE ]

Why Not Sproles?

“He’s too small!”  We hear that all of the time and it’s a pile of horse crap.  Ray Rice got the majority of touches for the Ravens this year and he’s only 5’8… Sproles is 5’6!  Pound for pound, Sproles is the strongest Charger on the team and has the nickname “Tank” for a reason.  [ READ MORE ]

Thank’s for the Memories LT!

In case you have not heard, Ladainian Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers today.  It saddens me to see him go, but in the end, I truly think it is time for the Chargers and LT to part ways.  By no means do I think LT is done.  He had career lows in [ READ MORE ]

Did You Know Vincent Jackson is Smart?

Before Vincent Jackson’s pre-playoff detainment, I read this article on ESPN about how smart Vincent Jackson is… er WAS!  I must admit that I was surprised given the fact he’s gotten two DUI’s since he’s been here.  Smart people don’t usually get two DUI’s!  If you have two DUI’s and think you’re smart, don’t rethink [ READ MORE ]

Kevin Acee is Full of Crap!

QUOTE “Chargers’ night out not cause of off day Fans’ anger, Internet, radio fueling nonstory By Kevin Acee, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER Friday, January 22, 2010 at 12:01 a.m. SAN DIEGO – This has gotten out of hand, and so I am writing about it. I can hardly believe this has become the issue it has. [ READ MORE ]

I wish I were surprised.

Unfortunately I am not.  Let’s be honest… as soon as Kaeding missed that first field goal, all of SD knew the game was over in the JETS favor.  If you didn’t, you’re not from SD and I envy you.  We are the fifth losingest city of all time and it gives me no joy to [ READ MORE ]

No offense NY, but The JETS are ONE and DONE!

I’m hearing a lot of talk coming from the East Coast and “sports experts” about the J E T S – JETS.  It’s just annoying at this point.  The Chargers have won 11 straight and have more offensive weapons than every team in the NFL…. Yes, even more than New Orleans and they beat the [ READ MORE ]

Manning’s 4th MVP is Good for The Bolts!

I like Peyton Manning and love the way he plays the game, but we all know he did not deserve the ’09 MVP… especially since he started off ’09 by losing to P-Riv and the Bolts.  That being said, this is good for San Diego and the Chargers considering this is one part of the [ READ MORE ]

A New Stadium For SD? Not so fast!

There now exists almost twenty years of research on the economic impact of professional sports franchises and facilities on the local economy. The results in this literature are strikingly consistent. No matter what cities or geographical areas are examined, no matter what estimators are used, no matter what model specifications are used, and no matter what variables are used, articles published inpeer-reviewed economics journals contain almost no evidence that professional sports franchises and facilities have a measurable economic impact on the economy[ READ MORE ]
